It is the year 2073. Eric is sent by his editor to meet the inhabitants of the remote and secretive island, Blessed, where the sun never sets in summer. Residents of Blessed do not age and no new children are born here. The inhabitants of blessed have discovered how to distill the elixir of youth from a local orchid. While at the island, Eric falls in love with the beautiful local girl named Merle. Have you ever met someone and felt like you already know him or her? “Maybe he knows nothing. Maybe it's that he feels it all, but whatever is happening to him, he understands that he lived before. He lived other lives, in different times. And why not? It's something he has often wondered about, sitting on the train in the morning, looking from the corner of his eye at the other commuter, wondering why….Now he knows. He has been others.” It turns out Eric and Merle were once King and Queen, but their lives together were cut short. Ever since, their souls have been trying to find each other across time. Their souls are reunited as mother and son, artist and child, forbidden lovers, and even victims of a vampire. Written in seven parts based on different moons (the flower moon, the harvest moon, the hunter’s moon, the blood moon) Midwinterblood is a story of love, sacrifice, and blood that will have you traveling back in time and to the future to discover how Eric and Merle’s souls keep finding each other.
